Column settings

FormattingColumn styles

Click Start Formatting to format your table columns.

Each of the column styles is made up of one or more semi-colon separated CSS properties. The styles are applied to the respective columns as provided in the editor window. A style can be reused for subsequent columns by using a numeric reference of the column. For example, to reuse 3rd column style in 6th, use 3 as style value in column 6. Column styles are applied to the table column and participate with other CSS properties to determine the look of an element. In particular, some properties can be overridden by table, row, element styles, or classes.

Example: background:lightyellow.

Note

When the Insert auto number column parameter is On, if you want to repeat a column style, use numeric reference of this column +1 in the intended column.

For example, to reuse 3rd column style in 6th when Insert auto number column is On, use 4 as style value in column 6.
